"The infamous hate group women’s place U.K. (WPUK) plan to meet in Bath to spread lies and fear to harm trans people, especially trans women.

We encourage everyone who feels safe to do so, to come out and oppose this meeting. And it’s never been more urgent than right now.

Bring your friends! Bring banners! The precise location will be anncounced closer to the time.

We also advise people to take precautions for safety: TERFs love taking photos of us to doxx us/ grass us to the police. We advise bringing face covers!"

Fly cemetery biscuits? Yuk!

The Garibaldi. Now there's a seditious biscuit.

FekkoTheLawyer · 22/10/2018 19:30

I'm sure they will find something to be offended about over the glorious custard creams.

Waterparc · 22/10/2018 19:15

our chief weapon is custard creams.....

BlackForestCake · 22/10/2018 19:14

"Don’t eat the custard creams! TERFS put ground glass in the biscuits so that trans folxs will be maimed by eating them!"

Does anyone know why they say "folk" instead of "people"? I understand the "siblings" instead of "brothers and sisters" thing, because if you are pretending not to know what sex you are and "identify" as neither male or female you wouldn’t want to be either a brother or a sister. And in a way I am quite glad to see the revival of a word that nobody has used since 1965.

But what is the "folk" stuff about? At first I thought "well, maybe some don’t even identify as people and think they are furries, dogs or aliens from another planet". But since "folk" is literally exactly equivalent to "people" that can't be it either.

@OlennasWimple I laughed so hard I woke the baby then.

It's quite flattering really, to think we're so scary as to be "infamous". I think the closest I've ever been to being a criminal is taking my library books back late.

Badstyley · 22/10/2018 18:21

Who needs to cover their face when they’re on the right side of history? What are they expecting to be grassed up For? Honestly, so juvenile. Nowt scarier than a group of women having a meeting, all those cross mummies. I expect the thought of all that hot tea and cake must strike the fear of god into them.

When DS is being bratty I threaten to rock up to his school dressed like Edina Dr AbFab and screech across the courtyard 'oiiii, Fekkoson sweetie darlin'...' the threats range from 'you forgot your teddy' to 'don't forget I'm in court today'.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 22/10/2018 18:02

Deep down, I just don’t want to believe the youth of today could be so utterly, utterly tragic.
I feel a bit sorry for them, tbh.

To be fair, this is only a small number of the youth of today. A VERY small number.

  • Biscuits were proffered to the protestors outside the Quaker Meeting House event, I think?

Sounds like a dastardly plan to entice them to uncover.

OlennasWimple · 22/10/2018 17:56

Someone should call their mums really. Drag them off by their ears

"He's not a transwoman, he's a very naughty boy!"

TheCraicDealer · 22/10/2018 17:55

I know 11 have said they're attending but it might only be 7 or 8 once a few get grounded or realises that it clashes with their cello lesson.

OlennasWimple · 22/10/2018 17:55

Definitely difficult to be angry with someone who is holding a plate of custard creams

"Maybe some nice police horsies will turn up."

Maybe some of them don't want their mums recognising them?

Waterparc · 22/10/2018 17:51

I know someone who saw off an EDF demo by setting out tea and custard creams at his Mosque.

worked really well.

maybe hobnobs for the mumsnet connection?

FekkoTheLawyer · 22/10/2018 17:40

@hipsterfun - I've said it a few times - I'm sure it's really gaslighting by surrealists.

FekkoTheLawyer · 22/10/2018 17:39

JuneOsbourne · 22/10/2018 17:38

Anyone else notice on their mocked up poster thing that under "A Woman's Place" they've scribbled out the words "is to be heard" in black marker pen. Says it all really.

hipsterfun · 22/10/2018 17:37

They clearly love the whole 'courageous freedom fighters in the face of evil' romantic self-image. Even the phrasing of the first sentence reeks of it: 'infamous', 'spread lies and fear'

It’s shit like this that makes me wonder if transactivism is an elaborate wind-up or state ruse to keep us distracted.

Deep down, I just don’t want to believe the youth of today could be so utterly, utterly tragic.

PositivelyPERF · 22/10/2018 17:27

We encourage everyone who feels safe to do so, to come out and oppose this meeting.

We’re soooo afraid we might have to ask some really scary 20yr old women to stand between us and the nasty terfs. It so hard being a 6ft tall, penis endowed, hairy woman. 😭

FekkoTheLawyer · 22/10/2018 17:22

Feels safe to do so? Oh give me a break.

So the painted baseball bats and masks are what, for show? The fact that the blue haired boys are larger, stronger, more aggressive and violent and have youth on their side? The fact that the sight of an obsese man dressed in a nappy with a dummy tit won't strike terror into the heart of any of the nasty ladies?

Don't panic Mr Mannering.....

They really are panicking though aren't they? Their agenda has been well and truly rumbled and they are afraid their cunning TRA plans to erase women and women's rights are hitting a few bumps in the road.

You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time - as the saying goes.

StarsAndWater · 22/10/2018 17:16

I was too nervous to go to the Bristol jam jar one but I'm kind of furious now and was planning to go to this. Glad they're giving us the heads up, I guess.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 22/10/2018 17:15

It's perfect for them because they can have all the fun and excitement of face covering and making out they're doing something terribly brave and dangerous, but we're a bunch of non violent mostly middle aged women so there's zero risk of their getting hurt.
Tossers.
